[Intro: samples and (Classified)]
"Being a professional at our work, that is rapidly becoming a world of amateur's"
"What are your qualifications?"
"You, you, you, you got 5 (yeah), you, you, you got five, five minutes, you, you, you, you got (Uh) five minutes to preform your fake act"

[Verse 1: Classified]
Yeah, uh, you think you know me homie, you phoney rappers talk baloney, y'all so far below me
Blow me, there ain't nobody who control me, I'm in a league of my own, I'm ain't competing for no trophy
I don't need no album budget, I record and make my own beats
Hit the studio all by myself, stand on my own feet
I'm a different breed, I do this for the crowd applause, turn this hobby to a job, don't need no feature on a blog nah
I ain't a star, I'm an astroid, trying to avoid these fake girls, takin' botox and ass steriods
A bunch of people who talk behind your backside, like dissing someone on Twitter and not putting the @ sign
You scramblin' (scramblin'), career is over-easy, been-a-dick since I was an egg in my mothers ovaries, please believe me
I ain't your rappers favourite rapper, I'm my fans favourite rapper this is just the latest chapter
Shoutout to the artists working hard and undiscovered, that's my father on the guitar, I call him my motherfucker ooh
You think you know me, you don't know me, kid your way off
I'm here to restore order cause we all live in chaos, this is Filthy

[Chorus: DJ Premier, (Classified) and "samples"]
There you have it, the uncut of rap, of rap "you see me do this shit?" (yeah) "we the hottest thing ever" "who is this?" (Class! This is last man standing, this is Filthy, dirty, grimy, cruddy, feel so good but it sound so ugly, nasty, cruddy, oh so muddy, we get 'em up) "you better ask somebody"

[Verse 2: Classified]
Ayo, I spent the week in detox, but now I'm staring at my weed box, excited to get higher than the treetops, living in a cold world, and this is how I defrost, strike like a peacock in a fresh pair of reebok's, yeah, it's a thin line between magic and a bad trick, it's a matter of opinion between the wackest and the classics, so make sure whatever I make I love it, first and foremost, cause artists steal a style and move on when it's worn out
Kanye sped his samples up, everybody sped 'em up
Then the South slowed it down and everybody slowed it down
Then Drake and 40 showed them how to use a filter
How you supposed to hold the crown when you don't even own your sound, huh?
I grew up on that boom, bap, loud kick and snare, kept rocking with it even when that sound disappeared
Came into the game when white rappers weren't a cliche
But man oh man that's sure changing these days, shit is Filthy

[Chorus: DJ Premier, (Classified) and "samples"]
There you have it, the uncut of rap, of rap "you see me do this shit?" (yeah) "we the hottest thing ever" "who is this?" (Class! This is last man standing, this is Filthy, dirty, grimy, cruddy, feel so good but it sound so ugly, nasty, cruddy, oh so muddy, we get 'em up) "you better ask somebody"

[Chorus: Dave Sampson and (Classified)]
It's the weekend
On the East Coast
Got a little crazy last night
Woke up in the back seat
Of a row boat
No clothes, no phone, comatose
(you ready? Yeah!)
I guess I dove off
Of the deep end
Now I'm just paying the price
High cost of living
Guess you get what you give in
No pressure no diamonds
No-no pressure, no diamonds

[Verse 1: Classified]
This is for the rogue soldier, dope smoker and home-owner
Show closer, show boater and stone thrower
Party people and the people staying home sober
This is for the ones who give me love, and the cold shoulder
I do this for the low-rollers and the YOLO-ers
Go-getters and the Monday morning no-showers
This is for the high-rollers, with no chauffeurs
And the ones who ain't got nothing to hide, like comb-overs
Take a spiced rum, with a little cold soda
I'm the giving type - organ and bone donor
You can feel the pressure building as you grow older
Grind hard, yeah I told ya
This is for the

[Chorus: Dave Sampson]
Weekend
On the West coast
Got a little crazy last night
Woke up in the back seat
Of a row boat
No clothes, no phone, comatose
I guess I dove off
Of the deep end
Now I'm just paying the price
High cost of living
Guess you get what you give in
No pressure, no

[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg and (Classified)]
Fresher than fresh
Yes I'm the best
No pressure nonetheless -
One might contest
Until they figure out
What this nigga 'bout -
Knockin' the bitch
Gettin' this brick
Taking a trip
And having a sip
I made your girl want to skinny dip
When she seen me
Rub my nuts three times, made your bitch a genie
She made my dick disappear then reappear, do it down
Gave it to her best friend, lube it down
See I don't even know where I'm at (but we smokin'!)
Somewhere in Nova Scotia, Canada, bustin' the mack
You see
Pimpin' ain't got no restrictions
I'm your DJ while I'm stayin' in the mixin'
Fixin' the batch
I woke up with a bad bitch in my lap, my nigga
Cause I'm cool like that
See it's a Monday, a fun day, and one day I'll quit
But until then, my nigga, we gon' just get lit

[Chorus: Dave Sampson and (Snoop Dogg)]
Cause it's the weekend
On the West coast (West coast, baby!)
Got a little crazy last night
Woke up in the back seat
Of a row boat
No clothes, no phone, comatose
I guess I dove off
Of the deep end
Now I'm just paying the price
High cost of living
Guess you get what you give in
No pressure, no diamonds

[Verse 3: Classified]
Yeah
I know I'm gonna pay for this tomorrow
Cause tonight we going in - like a porno
And tonight we going hard - like a porno
And then we gonna eat out - or Digiorno
I'm worn out, with a sore throat, and hungover
I'm a train wreck, rain check, I done told ya
These late nights and early mornings soon gotta go
I guess I can't expect to hit the highs, and not the lows
I'll pick my battles - I ain't tryna do this every night
Trying to slow it down so I can party long as Betty White
No pain, no gain
No pressure, no diamonds
Let's grind all day for all my people surviving
Till

[Chorus: Dave Sampson and (Snoop Dogg)]
The weekend
On the East coast (East coast!)
Got a little crazy last night
Woke up in the back seat
Of a row boat
No clothes, no phone, comatose
I guess I dove off
Of the deep end
Now I'm just paying the price
High cost of living
Guess you get what you give in
No pressure, no diamonds
No-no pressure, no diamonds
No-no pressure no, no pressure no diamonds

[Outro: Snoop Dogg]
I mean this is some Classified shit right here man
Big Snoop Dogg
Coming at you live and direct
Straight from the mother fucking West coast
Yeah, we in Nova Scotia
Dig that
It don't get no realer than this
I mean this is the realest it can get, man
This is realer than real - you feel that?
Get in the back and feel that
You can smell it through the back
[*laughter*]

[Chorus:]
Just dreamer
Shoutout to the sky, comin' from a believer
Wishin' upon a star to be my saviour
People tryin' run my life
Tell them to stop dreaming
I need to get away, beautiful escape

When I was young they told me get it
I never played a mini mile but slowly I did
They told me "dream on dream on" you're over your limit
"You'll never make it" but I did and it's only the beginning
Let me get away, and it's made, let me get it played, and minute maid
Cause this game got a little bit of taste
I wanted to those so I bought them down
Cause I'm from a town where you can't afford to fuck around
You need to get up and feel the wind blowin'
Got to get going
Take advantage of this moment, no tip-toeing
I dove in, head first, fully committed
It's all blood, sweat, tears, truly I live it
They just goin' through the motions
Me? I'm trying to show emotions
I'm trying to get what's out of reach
Even though I know some people don't believe but I'm just a dreamer

[Chorus:]
Just dreamer
Shoutout to the sky, comin' from a believer
Wishin' upon a star to be my saviour
People tryin' run my life
Tell them to stop dreaming
I need to get away, beautiful escape

Beautiful escape
Beautiful escape

When I wake up I see everything in 20/20
Funny money, got people acting all buddy-buddy
Mommy's hungry, somethin' growing in mommy's tummy
Love me or hate me but I'm doing what I gotta do
You, can't teach an old dog new tricks
But you never really fell until the time you quit
True shit, own up if the shoe fits
At 36, this is as real as Luke gets
Cause I knew no one would give me a handout
[?] chance and look how it ended fanned out
Hands down nah, it ain't a question that I get the hands up
Man up or I'm leavin'
It's a small world kids that's why I dream big
I'm proof that where you come from doesn't mean shit
I don't want to miss a thing so I dream with my eyes wide open
I don't miss a thing

[Chorus:]
Just dreamer
Shoutout to the sky, comin' from a believer
Wishin' upon a star to be my saviour
People tryin' run my life
Tell them to stop dreaming
I need to get away, beautiful escape

Beautiful escape
Beautiful escape

This is forever, forever, ever
This is forever, forever, ever, ever

Yeah, I dream to get away
From the heartache of yesterday
The marijuana always medicates
But there's got to be a better way
No excuses, this is all me
Takes the bumps and bruises I find it therapeutic
I'm shooting for the stars in a quest through galaxy
Trying to escape from the stress of reality
I'm out

[Chorus:]
Just dreamer
Shoutout to the sky, comin' from a believer
Wishin' upon a star
Just dreamer
Shoutout to the sky, comin' from a believer
Wishin' upon a star to be my saviour
People tryin' run my life
Tell them to stop dreaming
I need to get away, beautiful escape

Uh, uh I’m seeing bright lights and big cities
Too many ugly people sitting pretty
Uh, I’m seeing good people, down and out
And these days a good guy seems out of style
Sometimes it’s hard to crack a smile when I look around
My school used to hang a crucifix but took it down
I guess it’s ‘cause some of these priests are even crooked now
You talk religion now a days and man, they just put you down
Like, what the hell?
I don’t know who to trust, I’m so over protective
They say the youth is depressed. They’re over energetic
Prescribing Ritalin to fill 'em with anti-depressants
My brother's been on them since adolescent and he’s still dependent on it
Honest, we live a life of solace
Marriage is a joke, a TV show for profit
I’ve seen the double crosser
I’ve seen the people causing other people paining problems just to make a dollars of 'em
I see society, rioting, violently
Fighting for the peace, huh, don’t they see the irony?
We living in a dirty world and it needs to be refreshed
So the rain keeps falling down to wash away the mess
I’m blessed

I'm blessed, yes
If half of the world is amazed by things that we find so true
Find so true
And out of that world the amazing amounts to just me and you
Me and you
Could it be that we ain't from here
Ain't from here
I'm pray prayin' for the rain to wash away
Hoping that the rain will wash away

I see a lot of people losing faith
Uh, I see the media producing hate
Got me thinking I should pack it in and move away
Now a days, me and my neighbors don't communicate
Too many people are afraid. Who's supposed to lead us?
We don't trust the politicians, they just lie and cheat us
Treating us like animals like lions and cheetahs
Crucify society like they did to Jesus. Can't believe it
Don't know who to trust. Nobody but us
The people policing the streets are even too corrupt
I see them fighting for the wealth, fighting for religion
I seem 'em begging for forgiveness but they won't forgive 'em
What kind of life we living? Huh?
The world is dirty, needs to be refreshed
So the rain falls down to wash away the mess
Drown the wicked ones, while the pure stay afloat
Is this the end or the beginning? I don't know
It sounds familiar though
I'm blessed

I'm blessed, yes
If half of the world is amazed by things that we find so true
Find so true
And out of that world the amazing amounts to just me and you
Me and you
Could it be that we ain't from here
Ain't from here
I'm pray prayin' for the rain to wash away
Hoping that the rain will wash away

What if the rain poured down tonight?
(Alright, alright alright)
Would you wake up in a different light?
(Alright, alright alright)
Or would you change, would you change, would you change your ways?
(Alright, alright alright)
So let it rain, let it rain, let it wash away
(Alright, alright alright)
Yes

Uh, is it religion? Is it race?
Is it jealousy or hate?
Is it just the way we're made?
Or could it be the way we're raised? Let it rain
Noah's Arc..

The heavy head wears a crown
But it's never going to bring me down
Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
The heavy head wears a crown
But it's never going to bring me down
Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
I could throw it away
I could leave it all behind, it's all the same

Uh, I'm a ninety-five, shit
Yea, I remember when I started back in nine-five
I was just a bright eyed white guy
All I ever had to do was make beats and write rhymes
From the days of no wi-fi and high-fives
Look how time flies by you'd think I had nine lives
When I was on the come up they celebrated
Then they started hating when I finally started elevating
Now they try to twist my words to try to bring me down, like
(did you say rape?, Yea Class supports rape now)
Damn, even all the press try to eat it up
And now its cheap as fuck, but anything for a buck
I don't do this for the money or respect
I get enough of both of them, I'm just waiting to go collect
You get a little success, they get a little upset
They would rather see you strugglin', then making progress
And yes, every show used to be a night to be remembered
Now I can't even remember last nights show, so

The heavy head wears a crown
But it's never going to bring me down
Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
The heavy head wears a crown
But it's never going to bring me down
Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
I could throw it away
I could leave it all behind, it's all the same

I just signed a world wide deal
But I don't really know how I feel
I don't think they understand what I am about or where I come from
But I guess I'm the dumb one for signing on the dotted line
I put a lot of time in and got a lot to lose
So I ain't doing anything that I don't wanna do
Thinking that I'm a pop act, cause I had one pop track
That popped off
Thought they did their homework, guess not
They wanted me to work with Cody Simpson, Really?
They wanted me to work with Simple Plan, Really?
I said it ain't my thing, they got mad
Try to force me, like
You better do it, if I want the team to support me
Look, I got my own thing, in my own country
And I'm so comfy I ain't going to change for no money
I ain't trying to pass blame for the spot I'm in
But I hope you understand what kind of artist your signing

The heavy head wears the crown
But it's never going to bring me down
Cause I don't need it
I don't need it
The heavy head wears the crown
But it's never going to bring me down
Cause I don't need it
(Yea, I'm good where I'm at)
I don't need it
(You want it all? You can have it back)
Cause I can throw it away
I can leave it all behind, it's all the same

I love the rush, love performing, I don't wanna leave
But, it's the planes and the traveling that I don't need
I love the fans, love the hour that I get on stage
But hate the stakes, you still haven't learned how to behave
This games a chop shop
To the originals and knock-offs
A bunch of bitches trying to be top-dog
Fighting for that top spot
I got nothing left to prove
Everything I wanted to do, kid, I did it
I'm finished, enough small talk
Maybe its time I just drop the mic and just walk off

I'm back up in it
It's been a while
What else can I tell yall
(Tell me something that I don't know)

[Verse 1 - Classified:]
Yeah, Yeah
My package is massive
Well, maybe not but bigger than average
And my knowledge in the sack is on tap with Dan Savage
Plus my touch is like magic and I fuck like Jack [?]
I give it my all whatever I practice
Imagine my driving[?] bad when you look at what I put in this rap shit
Inspector gadget in the mattress
I'm rocking your university call me the big man on campus
I'm lying, I'm a square
Welcome to my world
Rap star, only slept with five girls
Amanda, Kelly, Julie, Megan and Kim
I should be thanking them but I hope they ain't mad at me for mentionin' 'em
And oh don't get me wrong me though
Been many others I been with
But these are the only ones that I would literally get it in with
Now I got three daughters
And when I tell people they say "God must be punishing you for your past history"
But my values never teeter-totter
I give these women the respect that they deserve
Look at how life works its such a mystery

[Hook - Classified (Samples):]
Can you hear that?
That bang bang bang is the beat beat beat beat picking up
Quicker than a [?] tryina get over a [?]
Get a ticket on top with full force
Everybody better give it up
I'm not what you see
But you better believe it
Everyday I breathe I-I-I live it up
I've got the key to my city and a tumor on my lungs
Never did it all but seen it all so I'm good when I'm done
Give me one minute of glory for every ten minutes of fame
Got my insecurities but keep it simple and plain
Kid I'm a square
Tell me something that I don't know
I'ma be square
Tell me something that I don't know
Yeah, Said I'm a square
Tell me something that I don't know
I'ma be square
Back to square one

I said, everything I say, I mean it
I never take back words
I live by four words:
"Don't ever go backwards"
Love for the outcasts and all of those who've been down
We don't pick the formal dress code
I walked out on an in crowd
Like "I don't need it"
Still never did no cocaine or angel dust or LSD
Ain't never dropped MDMA
I'm square right?
But I wouldn't have it any other way
Just look at my life
Sitting waiting on judgement day, like "I'm good"
I drink my liquor, smoke my marijuana
Making grands like Ariana but I ain't no prima donna
Yeah, so I tried to buy some life insurance
But they turned me down, so I saved the money
Blew it all on a white suburban
Thats a cliche I know it, but it was that or a minivan
And I can't pull that off, I ain't as cool as Remy Shand
Thats who I am, and theres many sides to this man
So I stay fly as I can but I'm cool right where I stand
Ah..

[Classified & Samples:]
Alright
Word to my granny and my daddy and my mother
Give me a sec
No one said having kids is easy

[Verse 1:]
Alright kids, settle down
Run into the other room
Daddy needs a couple minutes
No more comin' the booth
Shit it's hard to raise kids, sorry, shouldn't swear
Well, not around the youngins'
They'll repeat what they hear
How come ever since I had kids life switched up
Now I gotta watch over my shoulder when I twist up
I can't even smoke in my own house, it's tough
I'm trying to stay positive but sometimes kids suck
I'm trying to get 'em on a schedule
Come on, eat your vegetables don't throw them on the floor please
I need a break and the wife need a date
But we fall asleep at eight reading bed time stories
I should be going out, supposed to be a rap star
Instead I'm home, watching Frozen and Madagascar
Cars or Babar, some other crap I don't really want to watch
My whole social life is falling off
Thanks kids
What? I ain't bought enough for you?
You want to cry for something new, here's a handkerchief
And if you keep it up, don't think I won't spank a kid
I don't know if I can handle this
Man I was living the dream

[Hook - Classified & Samples:]
Then I woke up, up, up
I heard the baby crying in the other room
Screaming and cryin'
I'm tryna sleep
Then I woke up, up
I'm at my whits end, about to loose it
If it ain't one thing, it's a motherfucking nother
Word to my granny and my daddy and my mother
If it ain't one thing, it's a motherfucking nother
Word to my granny and my daddy and my mother
Daddy and my mother
Daddy and my mother
Never said having kids was easy
Word to my daddy and my mother
My daddy and my mother

[Verse 2:]
Man, I'm trying to stay confident
But I think I'm finally loosing it
Lord please help me, I'm praying to the crucifix
Weed makes me calm but gotta smoke outdoors
And can't watch porn on my home computer no more
Cause pop-ups will pop-up, and I ain't havin' that
Used to have patience with kids
Now I'm lackin' that
No, no more questions I thought I made this shit clear
Kids were not there yet, we'll be there when we get there
Now sit down
These kids always diss me
I bought a couch last week, they wrecked a couch week this week
Takin' home for dinner because they say they're hungry
Barely eat a thing, what a fucking waste of money
Sorry I'm still cursing, look what they makin' of me
I want the last slice
They always take it from me
So it's all about them now yeah, not about me
"daddy are you dying?"
No I'm not, now get out please
I'm tryin' to work so I can pay for that shirt you're growing out of
Baby that's my motive
I take the good with the bad
That's what change will bring
It's tough to being a good dad but wouldn't change a thing
My life's a dream

[Hook - Classified & Samples:]
Then I woke up, up, up
I heard the baby crying in the other room
Screaming and cryin'
So I got up I can't leave her in the other room
Screaming and cryin'
I'm at my whits end, about to loose it
If it ain't one thing, it's a motherfucking nother
Word to my granny and my daddy and my mother
If it ain't one thing, it's a motherfucking nother
Word to my granny and my daddy and my mother
Daddy and my mother
Daddy and my mother
Never said having kids was easy
Word to my daddy and my mother
My daddy and my mother
Never said having kids was easy

I'm just playing
I love my kids, I just need some sleep though
It's pretty bad when you got to go on tour to get sleep
It's not even just my kids man, it's my boys kids
I never to get to hangout with my friends anymore
Let your parents come out

[Classified & Samples:]
I can't watch what I want to watch on TV
Can't play any of my old rap CD's
And every movie that we watch is PG
Never said having kids was easy
Never said having kids was easy
Never said having kids was easy

My name's Cole [?], I'm from Prince George, BC, Canada
I work in Fort Mack, I'm only home about 7 days out of each month
My family lives in Enfield, Nova Scotia and I work in Baffin Island, Nunavut
I'm Wendy [?], I'm from Vancouver Island and I work up in the Alberta oil sands

[Hook - David Myles:]
I may be tired but I'm not asleep
My eyes are open and my heart still beats
I may be outside, but I'm not out cold
I got my heart and I still got my soul
It's time to get my feet back on the ground
It's my last night home, tomorrow, I'm gone
I work away, I work away
Tomorrow, I'm gone
I work away, I work away
It's my last night at home, tomorrow, I'm gone

[Verse 1 - Classified:]
I gotta wake up before the sun's up
I gotta catch a flight in the early morn
My bags are packed and my favorite hat
I work away to make it work at home
I'm gone again, gone again
Give the kids kisses, I'm off again
They don't wanna see me have to leave
But I'll be back soon, I promise them
I work away cause there ain't enough work where I come from
But honestly, I love where I come from
So I'm back home under one month
From the West coast to the East coast
To my family and my people
Don't miss a beat when my heart skips
I gotta work hard through these hardships
I put my head down and go for it
Put in overtime with no bonuses
And my girl's birthday is next week
I'm just hoping that I'll be home for it
So leave the lights on, keep the bed warm
I'll be there in just a minute
I'll see you soon as I can, but I got business that I gotta finish
I work away

[Hook - David Myles:]
I may be tired but I'm not asleep
My eyes are open and my heart still beats
I may be outside, but I'm not out cold
I got my heart and I still got my soul
It's time to get my feet back on the ground
It's my last night home, tomorrow, I'm gone
I work away, I work away
Tomorrow, I'm gone
I work away, I work away
It's my last night at home, tomorrow, I'm gone

[Verse 2 - Classified:]
I know I'm gonna miss this when I'm gone
But I'm optimistic and stay strong
I write this song for anybody who gotta work long distance and beyond
Anybody working 3 weeks on to get a week off, then put your feet up
Then you gotta try to give the weed up
Cause it might be your week to fill the pee cup (aww)
I'm feeling for ya, but you work it out
There ain't much work in this town
But we put our head down and search it out
We drive away, fly away
And I don't wanna say goodbye today
I love my home, but I gotta go
And I know it's just a small price to pay
Cause if you don't work, then it won't work
Tonight, let's have a little toast for
The people leaving in the morning
We can't wait 'til you come back home, work
I got pictures on my cellphone, I got memories on my mind
They'll be back, just a matter of time
Then we'll do this again, but it's back to the grind
We work

[Hook - David Myles:]
I may be tired but I'm not asleep
My eyes are open and my heart still beats
I may be outside, but I'm not out cold
I got my heart and I still got my soul
It's time to get my feet back on the ground
It's my last night at home, tomorrow, I'm gone
I work away, I work away
Tomorrow, I'm gone
I work away, I work away
Tomorrow, I'm gone
I work away, I work away
It's my last night at home, tomorrow, I'm gone

[David Myles:]
Alright, my name is A.J. [?] I work 5 hours away, 5 days a week for my wife and 2 little girls in North Bay, Ontario

I got my heart and I still got my soul
It's time to get my feet back on the ground
It's my last night home, tomorrow, I'm gone)

When they see me walk, when they see me walk,
when they hear me talk, when they hear me talk,
when they see me walk, when they see me walk,
when they hear me talk, when they hear me talk

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I don’t know if they’re ready but they’re watching me heavy,
They’ll never get me but they know that I’m rockin’ it steady,
You better seize your moment like you got epilepsy,
These MC’s are choking just like Jian Ghomeshi,
You get chopped like Machete like trying to pop like confetti,
They wanna break a barrel like Walter and Jessie,
I’ll put you on Ice, I’m like Walter to Gretzky,
I’m like Barney to Betty, rocking like Marty Jannetty,
I got ‘em waiting for it, take a look inside of my mind,
Einstein, I don’t follow any guidelines,
Enough Prime times mixed with these spliffs and the White Wine,
I think I need some sleep and some iodine,
And some Vitamin D, I got a deficiency,
Cause I’ve been mixing these beats,
And I’ve been in the studio, I don’t know,
'bout 5 or 6 weeks, try to get what I need,
full steam till it gets done,
then you’ll see me re-emerge back to the sun,
I’m about to break the odds, I’m a million to 1.
You got it backwards, don’t mistake my weakness for kindness.
I don’t fit the current mold, what I do is timeless

[Chorus:]
When they see me walk, when they see me walk
They don’t gotta, they don’t gotta pay me no mind
When they hear me talk, when they hear me talk
‘cause you ain’t never, you ain’t never heard of my kind
When they see me walk, when they see me walk
And I can see it in their face
When they hear me talk, when they hear me talk
Cause every time we in the place they say…
Oh no, here comes trouble, look the other way,
oh no, here comes trouble, you better look the other way
Oh no, here comes trouble, look the other way,
oh no, here comes trouble, you better look the other way

Shhh, naw we don’t ever quiet down,
up till 5 in the morning in Chinatown buying rounds,
Got my people with me, going city to city,
my committee is road scholars playing for no ballers,
hitting the strip club but none of us throw up dollars,
bunch of cheapskates this visa ain’t prepaid, plus I owe the weedman,
I’m already a week late, and he’ll cut me off like Brutus the Barber Beefcake,
Oh, I don’t pay for pussy, that ain’t how I roll,
I don’t ever pay to get off like a bridge toll,
but I pay the bills, keep the stove hot and the fridge cold,
I handle mine, that’s just how shit goes,
my daughters’ and my wife’s name are tattooed on my body,
I don’t need to make a will cause everywhere I got its on me, literally,
I bring the game to life like it's Jumanji,
I'm tryin to give the world a piece of me like I was Gandhi,
Check it, they expect me to say I’m the best in the city,
but when its arguably true then what there really to prove,
check it, I gotta say it to remind kids,
I ain’t trying to fit the current mold, this is timeless

[Chorus:]
When they see me walk, when they see me walk
They don’t gotta, they don’t gotta pay me no mind
When they hear me talk, when they hear me talk
‘cause you ain’t never, you ain’t never heard of my kind
When they see me walk, when they see me walk
And I can see it in their face
When they hear me talk, when they hear me talk
Cause every time we in the place they say…
Oh no, here comes trouble, look the other way,
oh no, here comes trouble, you better look the other way
Oh no, here comes trouble, look the other way,
oh no, here comes trouble, you better look the other way

[Rocky Balboa:]
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
Its a very mean, and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are,
it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it

[Verse 1 - Classified:]
I met this kid a couple years ago who was nine at the time
A fan of my music recited it line after line
He said his brother took a bullet from a nine to his spine
And his parents are heartbroken can't stop crying' since he died
Mistaken identity, wrong place and time
But nobody came forth, everyone blind to the crime
He was playing' basketball right in front of the 'rise
But nobody seen nothin'? Man it's a sign of the times
And its disgustin'
But this nine year olds out for justice, like
"Fuck this I gotta do something for my older brother."
He asked if I could help and I said "Anything you need."
Said he needs to know what happened so his brother could rest in peace
He wanted me to make a video asking for support
If anybody knows something, don't be scared to come forward
So I did it
And people tried to label that as snitching?
Like really? What the fuck am I missing here?
This boy lost his brother, now an innocent kid isn't here
I'm just trying to help, is that wrong? Man this isn't fair
If that was your brother or your kid, would you give a shit?
I know I ain't a snitch, but are you sure you ain't a hypocrite?

[Hook - Classified:]
It's hard to understand
Life can be a trip, enjoy it when its good
Just get through it when its bad
Cause life can be a bitch
But life can be a gift
Life can be a trip, enjoy it when its good
Just get through it when its bad
Cause life can be a bitch
But life can be a gift
So slow it down, cause life can be to quick
(Oh baby)

[Verse 2 - Classified:]
Last year, I went to the hospital for sick kids
My cousin worked there, said they'd appreciate the visit
"Just a couple minutes come say hi, take some pictures,
sign some autographs for the brothers, the mothers and sisters."
Not a problem, I even did a song or two
Looking at these kids like "I wish I was as strong as you"
Smiles on their face, tubes hanging from their ears
Trying to take the walk of life, but confined to wheelchairs
Its unbelievable
Then I met Simon, this other kid
He missed my performance, he was too sick to get out of bed
I was nervous at first, and couldn't comprehend
How a child whose so sick could be so happy and content
He said he was a huge of me and Billy Talent
Told him I just met those guys last week, they were real cool
He liked that
Fifteen year old with leukaemia trying to fight back
But he wasn't complaining about where his life's at
We talked for awhile, till the nurse made her rounds
She said I had to leave, I said "Goodbye" and have him pounds
We complain about life and now I know it ain't necessary
And I'm reminded overtime I read Simon's obituary

[Hook - Classified:]
It's hard to understand
Life can be a trip, enjoy it when its good
Just get through it when its bad
Cause life can be a bitch
But life can be a gift
Life can be a trip, enjoy it when its good
Just get through it when its bad
Cause life can be a bitch
But life can be a gift
So slow it down, cause life can be to quick

[Rocky Balboa:]
Nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life.
It ain't about how hard you hit,
its about how hard you can get hit,
and keep movin' forward, how much you can take,
and keep moving' forward

No I won't stay in today
I feel like I can touch the ceiling
And I'm gonna do things my way, my way
But maybe that's over your head
(like a hoodie and a ball cap, I wear a hoodie and a ball cap) That's over your head
(like a hoodie and a ball cap, I wear a hoodie and a ball cap)

Uh
Eh yo my offensive is offensive, I'm clearing the benches
Class is back in session, I just broke out of detention
Don't need no body guard, nah no type of protection
I got a vasectomy so sexually I'm protected with no contraceptive, uh
Feel like I'm floating every night and day
And the price I pay for this life ain't no ice capade
And life'll change, thats the way it is
Used to rap to raise a roof now I rap to raise my kids
(Still) This music is important as waking up and getting Tim Horton's in the morning for Canadians
I always play to win
But I ain't compromising what I built in my native land just to make it in the states again
I'm running mad and I won't be no forgotten fad
Been doing this, I probably partied with your mom and dad
I got you giggling and jiggling, baby
I ain't single, I'm just mingling
Now bring in my lady, I do what I love

No I won't stay in today
I feel like I can touch the ceiling
And I'm gonna do things my way, my way
But maybe that's over your head
(Like a hoodie and a ball cap)
That's over your head
(I wear a hoodie and a ball cap)
That's over your head
(Like a hoodie and a ball cap)
That's over your head
(I wear a hoodie and a ball cap)

Eh yo I woke up Sunday morning on a park bench
Passed out as superman and woke up as Clarke Kent
Last night I was swinging from the trees like I was Tarzan
I wanted Maryjane, drift away to a far land
Uh, its now or never
They say good things never last forever
But instead of getting worse man, I keep on getting better
So they pirate my music like this shits a hidden treasure
Whatever, I'm just happy you can find it
Gotta keep my back against the wall so you bitches can't talk behind it
I do this with a purpose while you do this thing with no cause
I'm over your head like my ex-girl's blowjob
So keep on swinging on your wrecking ball
Yup, I don't give a F at all
Tough love got me pushing past the bases
Life is hit or miss like batting cages
I'm doing what I love

No I won't stay in today
I feel like I can touch the ceiling
And I'm gonna do things my way, my way
But maybe that's over your head
No I won't stay in today
I feel like I can touch the ceiling
And I'm gonna do things my way, my way
But maybe that's over your head
(Like a hoodie and a ball cap)
That's over your head
(I wear a hoodie and a ball cap)
That's over your head
(Like a hoodie and a ball cap)
That's over your head
(I wear a hoodie and a ball cap)

Said I go over your head like a hoody and a ball cap
I just wanna make sure that you followed that
I've been eating good and I'm getting fat
Like Adele, I'm so full, of snacks
I'm just joking, I'm playing
Rapping and saying shit
Nowadays that's all you gotta say to get away with it
Look I'm a good look but I'm a bad dresser
I told you I would never change so I'm wearin' the same get up
Cause whether I'm getting groceries at the superstore, or 'bout to do a tour, or hosting the Juno awards, you know I
(I wear a hoodie and a ball cap, I-I-I wear a hoodie and a ball cap)
I said I go over your head like a hoody and a ball cap
(I wear a hoodie and a ball cap)

No I won't stay in today
I feel like I can touch the ceiling
And I'm gonna do things my way, my way
But maybe that's over your head

Warning, warning this is not a simulation
Space Invaders, space invading
Command and conquer
Break the gate in
I’m about to find my inner Ninja Gaiden
Two katanas, Blades of Steel
Duck when I hunt, ‘cause I aim to kill
I’m a trained soldier on the Battlefield
I know the game is the fake but the pain is real
I Duke Nukem, hit ‘em with the shells
That’s Koopa troopin’ 'em, I’ma give ‘em hell
I'mma Hadouken 'em
Spill your lunch out when you get punched out with a one, two on ‘em
Kung fuin’ ‘em, done, through with ‘em
Hitman for hire, duffle baggin’ ‘em
I shoot to kill, no Ronald Reagan
We spittin’ fire, we Double Dragons
This Mortal Combat-bat
In a World of Warcraft-craft
You can hear the swords clash, clash
Get your high score smashed, smashed
Got my phaser set to vaporize
I’ma put you on ice, skate or die
No role playin’, I’m protagin’ when I grab the controller, say goodbye

I be up on it
No way, no you don’t want it
Power down your electronics
My game is supersonic, it’s supersonic
I be up on it
(I get to play these games
I can’t stop playing, I- I can’t stop playing)
I be up on it
(I get to play these games
I can’t stop playing, I- I can’t stop playing)

Alley-oop, Alley-oop, Alley-oop
Game on, rally the troops
On to NBA, get my boot in your ass better watch that attitude
Oh, the saga continues
Why?
Hit save on the menu
I got game with the ladies, Leisure Suit Larry in the bedroom
I’m a Mega Man, I’m mega mad
Flipping you the Angry Bird
Don’t push my buttons, circle, square, x or triangular
Got a Need for Speed like Arriba Arriba, Andale Andale
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start
C’mon Mike concentrate
I roll with thirty men like the Contra game
You got a console in your console
Still play online at your mom’s home
Talkin’ shit in Grand Theft Auto
I’m a Street Fighter, Just Dance with me
Game over, no Final Fantasy
You bet your life, I up the ante
Your games weak, and I crush candy
[?]
Eat a mushroom, grow
Everyday I’m getting stoned
Like a Tanooki costume
I got TurboGrafx, sixteens
Don’t play around with this team
We got two players, split screen
It’s Halflife

I be up on it
No way, no you don’t want it
Power down your electronics
My game is supersonic, it’s supersonic
I be up on it
(I get to play these games
I can’t stop playing, I- I can’t stop playing)
I be up on it
(I get to play these games
I can’t stop playing, I- I can’t stop playing)

I know I keep getting older
But I can’t put down the controller
She hates it ‘cause I’m always playing these games, playing these games, playing these games
Been up all night with your friends
[?]
She hates it ‘cause I’m always playing these games, playing these games, playing these games

[Intro: Mia Rae]
I've never loved someone like this before
I've never felt something and been so sure
Oh I feel it in my fingertips
I hoped for this, I hoped for this
Sorry for the eagerness
I run to this, I run to this

[Verse: Classified]
He wasn't a lover, he was a fighter
She was something that he desired
Attempted to talk to her but
He couldn't ignite the fire
At first she wasn't that into him
And that was it, the years passed
Then she ran back into him
And they reminisced on their pasts
Time changes everything
They started talking, started relating, started dating
Then got naked, started the love making
Love is love
They rushed the club
This boy has never danced in his life but for this girl he'd cut a rug
Yeah things were good
But sometimes that boy would get jealous
He knew he was wrong but couldn't help it
And he knew he was selfish
Or maybe insecure
He knew she didn't like him at first
So every time she talked to other guys he thought she was a flirt
They fought a little, fought a lot, thought of breaking up
But never would let the day finish until they were done making up
Every treasure worth something is lost and then recovered
He ain't perfect, she ain't perfect but they're perfect for each other, its love

[Chorus: Mia Rae]
Say your mine
Love me tonight
Say that you will, say that you will, ssaaayy
I will love you, I will love you all my life

[Verse: Classified]
Now its been seven years and going strong
Holding on to the life they made
Hasn't been all easy street
Relationships have a price to pay
She had a nine to five job, a real career for work, and loved it, 'Till the boss tried to hit on her and have an affair with her
She stopped it quick
Said "No" and that was it
But then she never told her boy until weeks later, and he flipped
And he didn't know how to handle it
But got through it eventually
They could figure it out together but not a chance doing it separately
This boy was no saint though, made some bad choices
There was this other girl who hung around his boys, they'd flirt for enjoyment
Nothing serious, it was kinda pointless
But then they started talking on email
Like "I had a great time last weekend"
And his girl saw the emails
Obviously she started freaking
Like "Are you cheating? Tell me if you are right now or I'm fuckin leaving"
Never meant to make her suffer
And he knew that he only loved her
He ain't perfect, she ain't perfect but they're perfect for each other, its love

[Chorus: Mia Rae]
Say your mine
Love me tonight
Say that you will, say that you will, ssaaayy
I will love you, I will love you all my life

[Bridge: Mia Rae]
I've never loved someone like this before
I've never felt something and been so sure
Oh I feel it in my fingertips
I hoped for this, I hoped for this
Sorry for the eagerness
I run to this, I run to this

[Verse]
Now this boy and girl are married
They wake up together everyday
Life's good, but sometimes when it is, you take it for granted
They don't have too many problems
Picture perfect in many ways, but nowadays
He don't take her out for dancing and ain't romantic
She complains about little things
Like "Can't you keep this house clean?"
He thinks she just complains cause she's got nothing else to complain about
They don't fight too much but when they do
They don't always work it out
Cause they know they'll wake up together in the same bed, in the same house anyway
They're driving in awkward silence
Boy looking at her like "why ain't she talking, why is she crying?
What's she thinking about? Is she happy, is she doubting us?"
But they both know nothing's perfect
You gotta work if there's any hope for ya
Naw this ain't a love song its a real song
When you build a relationship theres obstacles and only the strong will build on
They built a family and now this girls my baby's mother
It wasn't all fairy tales but were always there for each other
Thats love

[Chorus: Mia Rae]
Say your mine
Love me tonight
Say that you will, say that you will, ssaaayy
I will love you, I will love you all my life

[Outro: Mia Rae]
I've never loved someone like this before
I've never felt something and been so sure
Oh I feel it in my fingertips
I hoped for this, I hoped for this
Sorry for the eagerness
I run to this, I run to this

Pick it up, pick it up, yeah
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up
Nah we ain't slowin' down, pick it up, pick it up

Yeah, let's play a game called the monkey in the middle
Married to the game, but I ain't scared to make a single
This right here got you feelin' like a nympho
About to climax, put your face all in the pillow
This that grand slam, home run
Early morning tee-off, sinkin' a hole-in-one
One for one, the underdog, but I'm winnin' it
Club closed but the DJ keep spinnin' it
Oh I can't stop this feelin' that I've come across
Moonwalkin' on water like the son of God
Then I'm ghost, bustas who you gonna call?
Feels like Christmas when I'm sippin' on that rum and all
This that bonus on your paycheck
It's when the wifey surprised you with day sex
Yeah, it's goin' on that first date
It's takin' her out for dinner and she offers to pay

[Chorus:]
That's a grand slam
Move the outfield way back, I'm swingin' for the fence
Grand slam
I got a couple of drinks, got weed and some money to spend
That's a grand slam
I'm feelin' brand new, like no I can't lose
That's a damn good day to me
That's a damn good day to me
And that's a damn good day to me
Pick it up, pick it up

Yeah, I'm tryna give a bit of great advice
You in a dark place, this could be your ray of light
It's that feeling that could make your night
I'm tryna take these people higher, it don't matter if you're 'fraid of heights
Right? Right. Right? It's like that back massage
It's a bachelor party for your last hoorah
It feels good, don't it? Good, don't it? Enjoy it while you can
Cause this all stops when the record ends
There's three types of people I know that tell the truth
Kids, drunks, and those with nothin' to lose
I'm on my last drink, though, but got no weed to smoke
Oh, just found a joint in the seat of my coach

[Chorus:]
That's a grand slam
Move the outfield way back, I'm swingin' for the fence
Grand slam
I got a couple of drinks, got weed and some money to spend
That's a grand slam
I'm feelin' brand new, like no I can't lose
And that's a damn good day to me
Said I'm feelin' brand new, like no I can't lose
And that's a damn good day to me
Grand slam
And that's a damn good day to me
Pick it up, pick it up
Nah, we ain't slowin' down
Pick it up, pick it up

I'm that tall, skinny white dude, born and raised
Out in Enfield is where I'm still livin' today
Nah I never went Hollywood, never for big
And a big up to my hometown for lettin' me live
I'm feelin' it and feelin' energized
Like I worked out and got some exercise
It's that game winning goal, it's getting home from work
It's smellin' your favorite meal cookin' on the kitchen stove
Hey sugar tits, I love to hit on women
But in a good way, I don't hit my women
You men are just absurd, this is justice served
They wanna just observe, you're gettin' just desert
This is gettin' sweet revenge on your worst enemies
It's partyin' all night 'til breakfast at Denny's

[Chorus:]
That's a grand slam
Move the outfield way back, I'm swingin' for the fence
Grand slam
I got a couple of drinks, got weed and some money to spend
That's a grand slam
And that's a damn good day to me
And that's a damn good day to me
Pick it up, pick it up
Move the outfield way back, I'm swingin' for the fence
Grand slam
I got a couple of drinks, got friends and some money to spend
That's a grand slam
You know I'm feelin' brand new, like no I can't lose
And that's a damn good day to me
And that's a damn good day to me
And that's a damn good day to me
